I've simply been buying Pixel phones and using the GrapheneOS web installation tool. It holds your hand through unlocking the bootloader and flashing the new image on, and it always works without a hitch. Super-easy and reliable. I suppose you still don't "own" the radio firmware, but at least you can have a perfectly functional Google-free Android phone that way.

I suppose the real trouble comes from needing to install software from the Google Play store in order to travel. If you feel you need to do that you can create a new Google account just for that installation of the Google Play from the phone itself and then never give it any of your personal information such as a payment method. GrapheneOS claims to do a pretty good job of sandboxing Google Play components.

Regardless I agree with others here who think it should always be possible to travel without any electronics on your person.

Unfortunately this is not the way it's developing. It's more like: are you a normal person without deep pockets? Download a movie with Bittorrent and get a steep fine. Are you a company with hundreds of millions? Download half the copyrighted material on the internet, it's fine.

We are increasingly shifting to a society where the rules only don't apply when you have capital. To some extend, this has always been true, but the scale is changing.

That would explain why, sometimes, my linux will not find the NVME SSD when booting. (MSI mobo with Kingston SSD).
I’d love to work with Ada but never had the opportunity. Anyone know which companies hire for it?
In response, I've stopped traveling to surveillance states or high (in)security states. I'm unwilling to participate in a society where I am expected to produce ID when walking down the street or can be accused of vague pseudo-crimes like being, "suspicious looking".

I know my boycott won't mean much to those who are willing to put their entire lives onto their personal tracking devices. Maybe it even seems unreasonable to those who are accustomed to complying with testicular exams at the airport. That's totally fine. I'm not here to convince them of my principles. We all have different values.

The point is I can leave the house without a device or ID and live a perfectly normal life.
But that is the entire "issue": for you to get an improvement implemented, you need to work with people with a broader context and more say in things. And they are human, so you need to make sure you don't put them needlessly on a defensive (even if they don't mean to be).
I can be your source. A friend's sister killed herself some years ago. She mentioned many times that she didn't want to live. No one I know said "but she seemed so happy" afterwards.
I am interested if you want to hit me up!

Yup. You can always keep it powered off and in a Faraday sleeve until it's time to use it at the border. It should be possible to distribute a device that's smaller and lighter than a passport, and I'd be all for it, so long as it's at least as reliable and/or if there's a fallback process when it isn't.

Oh. I was expecting something much more weird from the title, and that's a pretty confusing/misleading name for that.
This is really awesome, can you make it opensource
It took me a few seconds to get this, lol.

It may not seem like much since it's only Apple right now, but their 3nm SoCs are stunning. I can only imagine what the industry is going to look like when this tech becomes the standard. The miniaturization potential alone can transform many other technologies, let alone its value for low-power edge compute.

The difference isn't revolutionary, but noticeable. Whoever has it will have a competitive advantage.
Forth is another language with separate control flow and data stacks, for similar reasons, although at a much lower level - the stacks are a part of the language spec that is fully exposed to you, not just an implementation detail.
>> But at the tcp level there's a difference between close and reset. Which do you want? Your api has removed that choice from you, and if you look you will have no idea if rhe close api does a close or a reset.

If you are doing a „TCP application” of course it makes no sense to abstract the TCP layer. Is not about cost. Now if you have an application that has to communicate somehow with other system, and you want to not depend on specific protocols, then the communication part should abstract away that part.

How to deal with your example? Well, if you can say “I will always want X, you can make a configuration option “TCP.close” or “TCP.reset”. If “it depends” then you have to build the logic for the selection in the abstraction layer, which keeps hidden.
It is not possible for it to exist in any text based forum because it depends on:

* body language, non verbal communication

* the ability to respond instantly

* the ability to interrupt

* the ability do develop relationships over time

Which do not exist altogether anywhere on the internet
Same on android.
Except, it doesn't render anything. It's the recently used parts of the higher layers of the inference network starting to have electrical activity of their own to do some kind of optimization/defragmentation.
One other neat thing about discriminated records is that you're not limited to just a single field with a variable size, you can also write something like this:

type My_Record (A, B : My_Integer) is record
X : My_Array (1 .. A);
Y : My_Array (1 .. B);
end record;

A record that's created from this will have those arrays tightly packed rather than leaving space at the end of the first one like you might expect (this might be compiler dependant, but it's definitely how GCC does it). Also note that these values can be set at runtime, so this isn't just a generic in disguise (although in Ada you can also instantiate generics at runtime).
Also supported by Espressif under their own name “Airkiss/ESPTouch”.

Unfortunately since the chip doesn’t support 5G WiFi it’s a mess where you need to switch the phone to a different 2.4 only network, configure the device, then switch back. Better to just use BLE..
Love them!
Reminds me of an old Java Android project I encountered.

EVERY class implemented an interface.
98% of interfaces had one implementation.

Every programmer was applying a different programming pattern.
A lot of abstractions seemed incomplete and did not work.

Proguard (mostly used for code obfuscation for Android apps) definitions were collected in the top module even though the project had multiple modules.
Half of the definitions were no longer needed and the code was badly obfuscated.
Problems were solved by continuesly adding classes and checking what sticks.

The UI was controlled by a stateful machine. State transitions were scatter everywhere in the code with lots of conditions in unforeseen places.

Legacy code was everywhere because no one wanted to risk a very long debugging session of an unforseen change.

No API definitions. Just Maps that get send via REST to URLs.

By biggest mistake was to not directly rewrite this project when I entered the team.
We did after one year.
Anecdotally, San Francisco is booming again. Downtown areas are more alive than 2018. Parks are packed on weekends.
> Your api has removed that choice from you

It has? Can't you rely on connect(2) with AF_UNSPEC doing a RST, and shutdown(2) with SHUT_WR doing a FIN?

I have a card passport that I can use when crossing the Canadian-US border by land. In fact just my driver's license is technically all I need.

The problem was when I caught COVID while on a trip to Vancouver. I was getting very sick and needed to get back home ASAP, but since I took the train I couldn't drive. All the car rental companies in the area were completely booked out. I thought, "Great, I guess I'll just go to the airport and catch a flight," except since I had crossed by land on the way in I didn't have the document I needed to fly out.

Fortunately I was able to find a bus early the next morning, but it was looking pretty sketchy for a few hours until I could figure out how to get back home. After that experience I'll never travel out of the country again without my actual passport.
I'm not sure what it's called (abstraction vs. indirection) but I dislike when everything needs a class/object with some odd combination of curried functions. Some programming languages force this on you more than others I think? As a contrived example "StringManager.SlicingManager.sliceStringMaker(0)(24)(myStr)", I've seen code that reminds me of this and wonder why anyone uses a language where this not only an acceptable idiom, but a preferred one.
LLMs are everything that it wrong in computing
All the western countries have no problem to welcome corrupt billionaires and refuse to extradite them back to their home countries and at the same time cry about illegal immigrants like you guys are natives.
Had similar shenanigans. Solved by consistently having half a glass of water before bed (yes, you'll need to wake up to let it out), and another half at night if there's any hint of sleep problems.
That sounds weird. Which country abuses passports like that?

From my perspective, a passport is just an identity document. It's not a source of identity. When you get a new passport, your identity doesn't change, so you don't have to update your information anywhere. Immigration officials may be the main exception, if you live outside the country of your citizenship. Or maybe there is some hassle if you need to transfer a visa to the new passport.

Pleasantly surprised to see this isn't a GenAI thing.
This is an overbroad usage of censorship, a term well suited for the physical world and far less nuanced for online content.

The physical world has very little in terms of sock puppet accounts, overloading channels with noise to crush the signal, without the expenditure of significant resources.

On the other hand Palantir was selling sock puppet administration tools back in the PHP forum era.

I have a million ways to ensure someone is not heard, which have nothing to do with the traditional ideas of censorship. The old ideas actively inhibit and mislead people, because the underlying communication layers are so different.

Dang and team, who run HN, has very few actual ways to stop bad behavior, and all of those methods are effectively “censorship”. Because the only tools you have to prevent harm is to remove content. This results in the over-broad applicability of censorship, diluting its practicality, while retaining all its subjective and emotional power.

For me: lose weight and take a daily PPI.

Doing great so far. One esomeprazole a day, 30 mins before I eat breakfast and I'm almost normal. This is with bad GERD, a hiatal hernia and some changes to my esophageal tissue. Oh and schatzki rings. I was in immense pain for years and now I can eat normally and enjoy spicy foods again.

"Private property"* in the sense you're using it here likely already existed by the the time of hunter gatherers. In some senses it even exists in many animals. The more common term for it is personal property: "this is my house, you can't live here; those are my scraps, you can't have them". Many animals also have their own nests, that they will defend from others; or even their own territory where only they hunt, and which they will fight others trying to encroach on.

This is the type of property that is the most natural actually, and I can't really see what it has to do with isolation. Even an idealized communist society (think Ursula LeGuinn, not Stalin) would still have this type of property, and consumerism (accumulating doodads you use every day) would still be a possible risk.

* in these types of discussions, when discussing the origins of such basic concepts, private property is often understood to refer to ownership of goods you are not directly using on a day-to-day basis. If you live in a house, that's personal property. If you own a house someone else lives in, that's private property. And this is indeed a much newer idea in human society (though still much, much older than media).
It sounds like Qualcomm missed an opportunity here:

This is quite interesting, but just curious if this is under development, as I notice the UI is not that great through?
It's funny how the same people that dump whatever trash they feel like into the compost bins because it's convenient turn around and say "Wow, free compost! Let me spread that all over my garden!" Like, didn't I just see you yesterday putting a compostable takeout container into the bin with ketchup packets still inside? You think the municipal composting fairy just magics that stuff away?
We do something on the IoT side with our local first air quality monitors. So no forced platform lock in or subscriptions. We are pretty much the only one in the space doing this and it has definitely been a big advantage for us to differentiate ourselves.
I think there is a big underserved market with self hostable products (didn't we once call these desktop applications ;)
Wish you all the best with your business model.
I am asking about the radio chip. The last I checked, buying one from a distributor costs around $6. You would need to do a huge order to get the price down to $2.5 per chip. The required order quantity is so huge that distributors do not list it.
Is it possible to host Lemmy on a shared hosting? If possible, would love to check it out as I always interested in federated communities.

> There's nothing incorrect about the behavior of the SSD when it's being operated outside the prescribed voltage and power thresholds.

I'd put some more emphasis on "when", though. If it never comes back when power comes back that's not particularly correct.
I’d love to know if any of these were recovered or is it primarily a venting wall. Maybe also helps society members track which countries are riskiest to send from.
just pure o4 mini in a sequence of prompts. I haven't done any fine-tuning or involved any dict api (yet), but the accuracy/quality can definitely be improved from there.

For dutch, I would use something like van dale or woordenlijst (het groene boekje), both have free online versions.
I heard of XenForo, but unfortunately it is very expensive to me. Thanks for suggesting by the way.
> Are the Stanford researchers in a basement?

I don't know how to explain this to you because you and everyone else around here worships at the alter of academia (especially HYPSM academia) but the answer is absolutely 100% yes. There is literally nothing coming out of any edu lab, even stanford, that has any relevance in this same industry (ML/AI compilers). To wit: there is no company running absolutely anything on top of legion.

> The lab's previous work lead to CUDA

This is like saying a sketch of a car led to the car. No. CUDA is the result of thousands of working engineers years labor, not academia, not academic aspirational hacking.

> How about lanl.gov using the language?

"using the language". using how? every single group at lanl is using the language? they've migrated all of their fortran to using the language? they're starting new graduate programs based on the language? you really have no clue how low the barrier to entry here is - any undergrad can start an association with lanl (or any other national lab) and just start writing code in whatever language they want and suddenly "lanl is using the language". you don't believe? me go look for any number of reports/papers on julia/go/python/javascript/etc/etc/etc coming out of lanl and ornl and jpl and etc. how do i know this? i'm personally on a paper written at fermilab based primarily around task scheduling in JS lolol.
I've seen a single company that does warehouse management software out of Sweden that advertises (in job listings) that they're using it. Otherwise, it's pretty slim pickings if you're not applying in its wheelhouse (high integrity systems -- aerospace, defense, medical, etc).

If you do microcontroller firmware development, I'd say it's perfectly reasonable to float it for a smaller project and just give it a spin. The language is significantly more modern/sane than C so you're not really exposing yourself to much talent risk. There's no gaping holes in the environment, experienced firmware devs will adjust easily, and new devs will feel more at home with the facilities provided.
And how do you tell if some music is AI or not?

Sure, there are some obvious cases. But I have been collecting AI songs that I like, and I can't tell the difference from human-made music.
Alhambra comes from the Moroccan Arabic word "Alhamra" which means The Red, it shares many engineering similarities with what was practiced at the time in what is today considered Morocco, some examples include:

- The Kasbah of Moulay Ismail in Meknes, a parallel to the Alhambra’s engineering sophistication, particularly in its hydraulic systems.

- Khettara Networks: Underground water channels designed to transport water down slopes without active pumping with gravity-fed systems that tap into aquifers, there are extensive networks of these particularly around Marrakech and southern regions.
If you train an AI system on a non racist data set, I bet you would still end up with racist or similar content, simply because exploitation, hatred and oppression of weaker groups is such a persistent part of our species history.

I think this line of thought would end up equating being considerate or decent, with “self censorship”.

But I guess I have an identity, which includes NOT being an asshole, and the tool should technically be able to be an asshole, because it’s trained on everyone’s content.

So now I’m far more confused that before I wrote the last paragraph.

PS: There is NO avenue of defense, where racists dont find things to prove their point. Flat earthers can conduct classical physics experiments, yet find issues with their own results.
Well making my own software would let me create my own features that I need, understand the codebase better and etc, and possibility create features that other software do not supported at the moment.
A simple timeout would already be an improvement. Or some generic information about how long is the process supposed to take.
> I wonder if other people use the same heuristics as me when judging a random arxiv link.

My prior after the header was the same as yours. The fight and interesting part is in the work past the initial reaction.

i.e. if I react with my first order, least effort, reaction, your comment leaves the reader with a brief, shocked, laugh at you seemingly doing performance art. A seemingly bland assessment and overly broad question...only to conclude with "Has anyone else read the paper? Do you like it?"

But that's not what you meant. You're geniunely curious if its a long tail, inappropriate, reaction to have that initial assessment based on pattern matching. And you didn't mean "did anyone else read it", you meant "Humbly, I'm admitting I'm skimmed, but I wasn't blown away for reasons X, Y, and Z. What do you all think? :)"

The paper is superb and one of the best I recall reading in recent memory.

It's a much whiter box than Spare Autoencoders. Handwaving what a bag of floats might do in general is much less interesting or helpful than being able to statistically quantify the behavior of the systems we're building.

The author is a PhD candidate at the Carnegie Mellon School of Business, and I was quite taken with their ability to hop across fields to get a rather simple and important way to systematically and statistically review the systems we're building.
> we still have checks and credit cards despite most young people just tapping their phone around

Unfortunately we're losing cash. There is one of those modern "chic" mixed-business-and-apartments developments not far from my house. Shortly after they completed construction my 12-year-old daughter visited the ice cream store there with her friends, but she couldn't pay for her ice cream when she got to the register because they didn't accept cash. They ended up just giving her the ice cream.

Most of the restaurants there have a "no cash" policy posted in their windows and at the till. No skin off my back. They're overpriced for what they are anyway, so I'm happy to give my business to other local restaurants not in the fancy mixed-use development.
I've never hosted myself, but why not head over there and ask!
That would leave smaller companies in the mid-west or other LCOL places behind. Only companies with enough revenue can compete (mostly tech).
I'm talking about them tracking me in the country after I left customs.

A requirements.txt, but for my human dependencies
just shipped my first personal website (https://subby.tech), and thought it would be cool to write a blog post dedicated to the people who've shaped my life and taught me something important.

i'm calling it my requirements.txt file.

instead of listing software dependencies, it lists my people dependencies: important people in my life that have shaped who i am, and what i've learned from each one.

(plus, i like the fact that i can go up to these ppl and be like "i've added you to my requirements.txt btw lol")

this was inspired by a site that my roommate (@aadillpickle on twitter) did (https://acknowledgements.aadillpickle.com/), and thought it was a clever idea and decided to steal it.

anyways, would love any feedback on my new personal site!

happy holidays!! :)
If Israel invaded and annexed parts of Iran and openly demanded Iran as a state was destroyed? Pretty obvious.
Just curious, are there a demo somewhere?
But it's not perfectly linear, and as should get bigger, the incentive to optimize grows
The main thing here seems to be giving your oesophagus' "swallowing muscle" gravity to fight against.

The traditional Indian method of eating, sitting cross legged on the floor, is similar to this. While sitting cross legged, you bend your back and have your head point at an angle towards the plate on the floor, and then put the food in your mouth. So cos(theta)*gravity has to be opposed by your oesophagus.
> "the real me"

I'm not sure the past you is the real you. People change and childhood friendships are mostly circumstantial. Would you befriend those people if you met them now? If not, than those relationships are kept by the power of nostalgia.
I don't think I have some crazy threat model, I just highly dislike giving Google more access to my own phone than I have. Although at the end I gave up on that due to the lack of features in GrapheneOS, and went back to crDroid with regular Google services installed as system apps.
This is quite interesting, and it feel like Hacker News too. That is cool. Work take that into consideration. Thanks.
Black people in USA certainly gained political power over time and white people lost it.

There is still white privilege, but the direction is obvious.
